Therefore, in this case the total cost of window and frame will be 43 +
42 = 85 cents per square foot.
For curved sash in curved walls, the cost is about twice as much as
that of straight work.
=86. Cost of Door Frames and Doors.=—The following estimate represents
the cost of an ordinary door frame. All molded work is put in the
estimate at 1 cent per square inch of section per foot of length less
35-per-cent. discount, which is the same thing as ⁶⁵/₁₀₀ cent per
square inch of section per foot.
COST OF A 2' 8" × 6' 8" DOOR FRAME IN PLACE
17 linear feet of ⁵/₄" × 6" rabbeted jambs $ .83
36 linear feet of 1" × 5" casing 1.17
36 linear feet of 1" × 2" back band .47
Dadoing and smoothing jambs and casing,
1 hour, at 40 cents per hour .40
Nails .05
Setting up jambs and casing,,
3 hours at 40 cents per hour 1.20
-----
Total $4.12
The area of the door is 2 ft. 8 in. × 6 ft. 8 in. = 17.78 square feet.
Therefore, the cost of the preceding door frame per square foot of door
is $4.12 ÷ 17.78 = 23 cents.
=87.= The following estimate gives the cost of a door of moderate
price. The size of this door is 2 ft. 8 in. × 6 ft. 8 in. × ⁶/₄ in. It
has four panels, is made of No. 1 pine, and is finished with solid ogee
molding.
COST OF DOOR IN PLACE
Price of door $2.75
Setting door, putting on hinges and lock,
2 hours, at 40 cents per hour .80
1 pair of 4" × 4" japanned-steel butts .16
1 mortise lock, brass-face knobs and escutcheons .70
-----
Total $4.41
If the door is provided with stuck molding instead of solid molding, it
will cost about 50 cents more.
The area of the door is 2 ft. 8 in. × 6 ft. 8 in. = 17.78 square feet.
The cost per square foot is therefore $4.41 ÷ 17.78 = 25 cents. The
total cost of door and frame per square foot of door is therefore 25 +
23 = 48 cents.
=88.= The door just described has no transom. A transom 2 ft. 8 in. ×
16 in., complete, will cost about $1. The area of such a transom is
2 ft. 8 in. × 16 in. = 3⁵/₉ square feet. The cost per square foot is
therefore $1 ÷ 3⁵/₉ = 28 cents.
